bleaching, coloring or similar work, upon the hair of the head
or any cranial prosthesis; cutting or trimming facial hair of
any person; any practice of manicuring, pedicuring, decorating

lightening hair on the body and removing superfluous hair from
the body of any person by the use of depilatories, waxing,

advice on what is appropriate medical treatment for diseases of
the skin. Purveyors of cosmetics may demonstrate such cosmetic
products in conjunction with any sales promotion and shall not
